1569 Energy Monitor and Energy Analyzer Application User Manual
Introduction
The Energy Monitor is a 3-phase current transformer data logger with either an Ethernet or a USB
interface. The Energy Monitor may be programmed to monitor various different aspects of electrical
power. An application is required to set up the Energy Monitor and to analyse the various types of
readings it will produce.
The application has multiple modes of operation. It is first used to set up the Energy Monitor so that it
may collect data. Later it is used to retrieve and analyse that data. It may also analyse data as it arrives
in real time.
The part number for the Ethernet version of the product is 00-11-0569-0000. For the USB Version, see
part number 00-11-0569-0001.
Energy Monitor Hardware
The Energy Monitor is available with either an Ethernet or a USB interface.
Ethernet Connected
The device is connected to a LAN and may be powered by either PoE or a 12V supply. In this mode the
unit may send emails or other alerts when programmed conditions are encountered or in response to a
programmed schedule. Data may be transmitted on the LAN and also stored on an external flash drive.
The User interface will be through either the Energy Analyzer application or with a web browser.
USB Flash Drive
Data may be transmitted to the computer for storage and/or stored on an external flash drive.
The Energy Monitor offers a USB port for connection of a Flash Drive. Data samples will be written to a
compatible Flash Drive as they are obtained and may be viewed and analysed later. The Flash Drive
may be removed (when safe to do so) and plugged directly into a PC for data analysis using the
EnergyAnalyzer application.
The Flash Drive must use the ‘USB Mass Storage Class’ with a sub-class of ‘SCSI transparent’ and the
transport protocol ‘Bulk-Only Transport’.
Examples of Flash Drives that use these standards are:
Ringdale USB 2.0 1GB
Pretec I-Disk
SanDisk 1GB Cruzer Micro
Toshiba 2GB
Verbatim 8GB (formatted for 2GB)
The Flash Drive must be formatted as FAT or FAT16.
The Energy Monitor expects a file named “DATALOG.BIN” in the root directory and the data area of
that file to be contiguous. Once created, the same file will be re-used. Do not move or copy the file on
the drive as this may result in fragmentation and the possible corruption of the disk storage structures.
The file size determines the maximum number of samples that may be stored within it. At the maximum
file size of 512MB, approximately 16.7 million data sample records may be stored, 19.4 days when
sampling at a 1/10 second frequency.

1569 Energy Monitor and Energy Analyzer Application User Manual
Energy Analyzer Application
The Energy Analyzer Application is used to configure, program and monitor one or more devices.
Configure
The term “configure” means setting up the Energy Monitor’s name, TCP/IP, E-mail, and Time & Date
parameters.
Program
This refers to instructing the Energy Monitor when to start sampling and how often.
Monitor
This function is used to 1) set the application to listen to the device, 2) set it to collect records and
determine where the record file is kept, and 3) whether to save records and/or logs.
Records are binary data.
Log Records are interpreted records that are readable text.

Programming Location
For convenience, an Energy Monitor should be configured before locating it at the place where it will be
coupled to the power lines. Although this is not mandatory, there may not be easy access to the
network.
For the purpose of programming, connect the device to the network in any convenient location.
Connect the power supply into the wall socket and the Energy Monitor.
Once programmed and ready to install
1) Plug in the USB Flash Drive if you have it.
2) If Ethernet is available, plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 jack.
Note: Power over Ethernet (PoE) cables are limited to a maximum of 36 feet.
When not using PoE:
You can connect up to a maximum of 100 Meters (328 feet, 109 yards) for 100baseT
or 500 meters (1500 feet) for 10baseT.
Page 7 of 42
1569 Energy Monitor and Energy Analyzer Application User Manual
IMPORTANT NOTE: The user should exercise caution in connecting the voltage and current inputs
since the connection points may be live. It would be best to disconnect power when connecting but that
may not be practical in all cases. Inspect the voltage and current sensing cables for damaged insulation
and exposed conductors before each use and do not use if damage is found. Replacement voltage
cables and current transformers may be purchased from Ringdale and current transformers with
damaged cables may be returned for repair.
3) There is only one way to connect the voltage and current sensing cables to the Energy Monitor:
./
./
./
./
The current transformers clip around current-carrying conductors and connect to the
Energy Analyzer at the AØ, BØ, and CØ Current inputs.
The red and green connectors are used to measure voltage.
The green connects to the neutral (grounded) conductor.
The red wires connect to each of the 3 voltage phases. The red wire adjacent to the
green wire is for the AØ. The next red wire is the BØ. The last red wire is the CØ.
4) Unless using PoE, connect the power supply into the wall socket and the Energy Monitor.

Configuring an Energy Monitor
Network configuration of an Energy Monitor device may be done using the Energy Analyzer Application
or a web browser. Basic setup includes setting the device IP address, specifying the e-mail server
address and destination e-mail recipients for alert messages.
For configuration using a web browser, please go to page 14. To use the application, please read on.
Start the Energy Analyzer Application.
A device must first be selected. Click “Select Device”.
Any Energy Monitors on your network will show up in the panel as shown above. If it doesn’t appear
straight away, use the Requery Network button to try again to find the device. Click on the device that is
to be configured to highlight it and then click the OK button.
If you have a USB version of the Energy Monitor, select that tab to see it.
Use the Select a File for a previously saved file.

1569 Energy Monitor and Energy Analyzer Application User Manual
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All Energy Monitors are shipped with a factory default IP address of 11.22.33.44. To avoid
TCP/IP conflicts, only one device that has not been configured should be connected to the network at a
time.
Once selected, the device’s name will appear in the main panel and the three options “Connect
Selected Device”, “Configure Selected Device”, and “Program Selected Device” will become available.
The first step is to configure the Energy Monitor’s name, TCP/IP, E-mail, and Time & Date parameters.
Click on the

The General tab allows you to modify the device name and set or change a password.
It also shows the Hardware model and Firmware revision.
Page 10 of 42
1569 Energy Monitor and Energy Analyzer Application User Manual
TCP/IP
This tab is used to assign the Energy Monitor with an appropriate IP address for your network. It also
allows you to set the IP addresses that the Energy Monitor will contact for e-mail sending and accurate
time keeping. When changing the IP address of the Energy Monitor, it is best to make just that change
first, then go back to “Select Device” to re-select the device using its new IP address, and then make the
other changes.
1) Enter an unused IP Address from your network, or click on the DHCP/RARP Enable.
NOTE: If you change to an address that is NOT in the same network range that your PC is, you will
still be able to see the Energy Monitor with the Energy Monitor utility, but you will not be able to
change any parameters until you are on the same subnet.
2) If you are not using DHCP or RARP, enter the Subnet Mask.
3) If you are not using DHCP or RARP, set the Default Gateway.
4) DNS Servers, 1 and 2, are the Domain Name Servers provided by your ISP. It is used to
convert the Mail Server SMTP Address’s URL to an IP Address.
Page 11 of 42
1569 Energy Monitor and Energy Analyzer Application User Manual
5) If you have a DNS server defined, the Mail Server SMTP Address can be entered either as a
URL (for example smtp-server.austin.rr.com) or an IP Address. Using the URL is recommended if
you may be changing your network, and you have your own mail server.
6) Time Server IP 1,2, & 3. You can either set the time manually on the Time and Date panel or
configure up to three preferred timeservers. Without the correct time, the timestamp will be
incorrect on all records, and if you email Alert conditions, your spam filter may trap the email.
The 192.043.244.018 address is the timeserver at NCAR.
TIME SERVER NOTE: All timeservers send the time UTC. In order to set the time stamps correctly you
must adjust your Time Zone Offset under the Time and Date tab. There is a list of public timeservers at
this URL: http://tf.nist.gov/service/time-servers.html

E- mail Settings
The e-mail settings are used to send an Alert message if certain triggers are met.
1) Mail Server SMTP Address – Use the TCP/IP tab to change this.
2) Mailserver SMTP IP Port – The default is 25. This is most common. Other common ports used
are 26, and 2525.
3) Mailserver Login Name – Often this is an email address. When a fax is received in the email
box, it will come from this user. Max 58 characters.
4) Mailserver Login Password – This is the password for the above email account. There is a
maximum of 58 characters. NOTE: case-sensitive.
5) Reply e-mail Address – If the person who receives the fax does a reply, it will go to this address.
6) Reply Name – This is the name that shows in the email header when you receive a fax.
7) Destination e-mail Address(es) - This is where the email will be sent. This can be the same as
item 2) or it may be an alias set up to forward to multiple users. Simply enter the addresses
you wish to send to as one entry, each address separated by either a semi-colon (;) or a
Page 13 of 42
1569 Energy Monitor and Energy Analyzer Application User Manual
comma (,). There is a limitation of a maximum of 80 characters for all addresses. No
spaces are allowed. Enter each address on a new line.
Page 14 of 42
1569 Energy Monitor and Energy Analyzer Application User Manual
Time and Date
The Energy Monitor features a battery backed up clock. When first set up and periodically after, the
clock may be (re) synchronized with a time server or the PC running the Energy Analyzer application.
If at least one Time Server IP address has been specified, the Energy Monitor will automatically contact
a Time Server to keep its clock accurate. Note that it will not adjust its clock while it is monitoring to
avoid spoiling the record sequence.
The “Set Device Time From PC Clock” function allows you to synchronize the device time with the PC
time. This option is only available if no Time Servers have been specified.
TIME SERVER NOTE: Some local timeservers and all Internet timeservers send the time in UTC. In order
to set the time stamps correctly you may need to adjust your Time Zone Offset and select or de-select
the Daylight Savings Enable option.

1569 Energy Monitor and Energy Analyzer Application User Manual
Start and Stop Times
Each of the Start and Stop Times, Start Date and Stop Date may be given a value or left undefined.
Leave all of these values undefined if you intend to start and stop the device manually.
Specifying Start and Stop times but leaving the Dates undefined will set a repetition pattern. It is possible
to define the Start Time as 9:00 pm and the Stop Time as 6:00 am for monitoring through each night if
the dates are left undefined, or for a particular night or nights if the dates are defined.
Specifying a Start Date without specifying a Start Time, and the same for the Stop values, will have no
effect.
NOTE:
If Start and Stop times defined, you will not always be able to start and stop the device manually. For
example, if the device is programmed to start at 4:00 pm and stop at 10:00 pm, the device will
automatically restart if manually stopped between 4:00 pm and 10:00 pm. Similarly, manually starting
the device after 10:00 pm will result in an automatic stop. As a rule, it is better to not define Start and
Stop times if you wish to manually start and stop the unit, or to re-program with undefined times prior to
manually starting or stopping.

When it is done you can import the file into Excel and generate a chart.
USB Flash Device
The only USB Flash devices supported are up to 2GB with FAT format 2048 bytes per sector.
The filename is DATALOG.BIN and is not case sensitive since version 1.10.
The file should be pre-formatted with all 0xFF for the length of the file. However the file gets overwritten on
every power-up of the device.
Since version 1.12 The device will always append data to the end of previously recorded data. To erase the data use a PC to
reformat and re-apply the preformatted datalog.bin file.
